Ghulam

Synopsis

Ghulam (transl. Slave) is a 1998 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Vikram Bhatt. The film stars Aamir Khan and Rani Mukerji in the lead roles. The plot of the film is similar to Vishesh Films' first production Kabzaa (1988), starring Sanjay Dutt, in turn inspired by Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront (1954; itself inspired by "Crime on the Waterfront" by Malcolm Johnson, a series of November–December 1948 articles published in the New York Sun). Ghulam was released on 19 June 1998, and was a commercial success at the box office. At the 44th Filmfare Awards, Ghulam received 6 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Bhatt) and Best Actor (Khan), and won Best Scene of the Year. The film was remade in Tamil in 2000 as Sudhandhiram.
